This glass mixing bowl holds 4 litres and is made from borosilicate glass, which has great resilience to heat stress. Borosilicate rather than ordinary glass is the whole specification: it is the reason the same bowl can go from a freezer to an oven without the risk that would carry in standard glassware.

Why Choose This Glass mixing bowl
A glass mixing bowl at 4 litres covers blending, baking, serving and storing in one piece, which is more than most bowls manage. Being able to mix a batter, bake it and bring it to the table without changing vessel saves washing up and saves the transfer where half the mixture ends up on the side of a second bowl. It is equally useful for keeping food in the freezer or refrigerator.
Glass mixing bowl: Materials, Sizes and Features
This glass mixing bowl is composed of borosilicate glass with great resilience to heat stress, and it is stain resistant so flavours are not retained between uses, which is where plastic bowls let you down after a strong curry or a garlic marinade. It is safe for the microwave, dishwasher, freezer and oven, and can be used in gas, electric or microwave ovens that run without a browning element.
Caring for Your Glass mixing bowl
Caring for a glass mixing bowl is mostly about temperature and knocks. Borosilicate tolerates heat change far better than ordinary glass, but do not put a hot bowl straight onto a cold wet worktop or under a cold tap. Wash it in warm soapy water or the dishwasher, and avoid abrasive scourers, which haze clear glass permanently. Store it clear of heavier items that could chip the rim.
Mixing, Baking and Storing
Glass shows you what is happening, which is genuinely useful when melting chocolate or checking whether a batter is fully combined at the bottom of the bowl. Being non-reactive, it is the right choice for acidic mixtures and marinades that would react with bare metal. For whipping, a wide bowl gives better results than a deep one of the same volume. Four litres is a genuinely large bowl, which is what makes it right for doubling a recipe, proving dough or holding a salad for a full table rather than only mixing a single batch of batter.
